The documentation only states that this particular flag enables/disables the PHP string that's sent back in the headers. But it does not mention that it alters the semantics of GET statements when appended by a certain "magic" string. So this part of the behaviour counts as Easter Egg (and potential security problem) Saqib.N.Ali () seagate com 29.11.2004 17:17 An: andi_mclean () ntlworld com Kopie: webappsec () securityfocus com Thema: Re: Fwd: PHP Easter Eggs Hello Andi, I wouldn't classify this is a easter egg, especially since PHP provides a way to disable it, and also because it is not something the PHP group is trying to hide. Infact the setting to enable/disable this is very clearly stated in the php.ini, and is called "expose_php" . It is used for exposing what the webserver is running, just like server signature e.g. "Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a PHP/4.3.3-dev " . Thanks.
